Officers were called to the Sleep Inn parking lot in the 6000 block of Belle Grove Road in Baltimore for a report of an armed robbery around 10 p.m. Monday.

A 42-year-old woman told police she was working for New Harbor Transport taxi service and picked up a man in the parking lot of the Sleep Inn who said he wanted to be taken to an address on Townsend Avenue.

As the victim drove off, the man pointed a handgun at her and demanded money, police said.

The robber took an undetermined amount of cash, the victim’s cellphone and tore the radio microphone from the radio, police said.

The robber fled on foot towards Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard, while the victim drove from the area and called the police.

The woman was not injured during the armed robbery.

A lookout was broadcast for the robber and several units from Northern District, K-9 and the aviation unit checked the area, but were unable to find the robber.

Police said the robber is described as a black man in his 20s with a thin build, 5 feet 9 inches tall, wearing a gray-hooded jacket.
